    400 vs 440 in a 76-78 New Yorker - noticeable difference?

    I just did a quick google search for the specs. 440: 320 ft-lb of torque @ 2000 rpm 400: 305 ft-lb of torque @ 3200 rpm I think most people would notice a difference if that is accurate specs.

    A/C Recharge - '78 NY Brougham

    If it's not done already, have it converted to R-134A refrigerant. But, take it to a shop that is experienced in working on the older Mopar A/C units, because if the conversion isn't done right, your compressor will seize, most likely at a very inopportune time.

    I once had a repair kit for broken traces on a rear defroster grid. You just painted it across the gap and it restored conductivity. There's also silver and nickel paint for repairing circuit boards and such. I'm not sure if either of them would be strong enough to actually attach wiring, but...

    1975 Chrysler Newport Custom

    My parents had a '76 Newport that looked very similar to yours. Ours was all a light green color. It was a pretty low-optioned car with a 360 engine. It's big claim to fame was the road trip we took from PA to GA back in the summer of '82. I had just gotten my driver's license and did pretty...

    Land Yacht (77 Newport Custom)

    I remember road-tripping from PA to GA in our 1976 Newport. What a pleasure it was! It was around 100 degrees in Atlanta every day we were there, but that good old Chrysler A/C kept the inside of that car like an icebox!
